You are building a database backup solution for a SQL Server database hosted on an Azure virtual machine. In the event of an Azure regional outage, you need to be able to restore the database backups. The solution must minimize costs. Which type of storage accounts should you use for the backups?

A.
locally-redundant storage (LRS)
Answers
A.
locally-redundant storage (LRS)

Answers
B.
read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)
C.
zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
Answers
C.
zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
D.
geo-redundant storage
Answers
D.
geo-redundant storage
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Geo-redundant storage (with GRS or GZRS) replicates your data to another physical location in the secondary region to protect against regional outages. However, that data is available to be read only if the customer or Microsoft initiates a failover from the primary to secondary region. When you enable read access to the secondary region, your data is available to be read if the primary region becomes unavailable. For read access to the secondary region, enable read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) or read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS).

Incorrect Answers:

A: Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. LRS is the least expensive replication option, but is not recommended for applications requiring high availability.

C: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region.

D: Geo-redundant storage (with GRS or GZRS) replicates your data to another physical location in the secondary region to protect against regional outages. However, that data is available to be read only if the customer or Microsoft initiates a failover from the primary to secondary region.
